4:SE recreates a scenerio and blatently ignores whatever else the novel presented. It would be safer to assume that they want us know what they presented in the game, and not from a retelling. Much like the DMC comic. Not really, mate! Trish was always there, Lady was always there and they formed a team to fight demons in Fortuna, just like Special Edition shows.

We just know Vergil was in Fortuna and that he informed Sanctus he wanted to surpass Sparda in his feats.

As much, novel hints Nero's mother wasn't from Fortuna or she wasn't there when Nero was born, that's why Sanctus could only think of a prostitute as his mother.

I came under the impression Bingo had planned a more romantic approach were Nero's mother was Vergil's lover or beloved, while DMC4SE seems to hint it was a one night stand or an ocasional tryst( no matter if the gal was a prostitute or not, since it's basically the same here).

Bingo only wrote the vanilla version, not SE.He was taken away to do BAYO2 story( which in IMO, Rosa/Balder love affair is closer to what Vergil/Nero's mother was to be, but SE erased), so story was left to the whim of it's director.

Anyway, everything we know about DMC4 novel was a quick summary ( I found later there were a lot of richer things that were left out), so we can't say if is canon or not, neither I believe Capcom has guts to go further into Nero's origins.So, now Nero is only a child of Vergil with an easy woman, nothing more.We have to remember too Sanctus was correct about Vergil being the father, so maybe he is correct about a prostitute being the mother.( In SE version, that is).
